Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona season has been memorable. Although the Champions League elimination was painful, the blaugrana have achieved a domestic treble: LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de España.
After many years wandering through the desert, Hansi Flick has managed to give Barça a makeover and turn it into a winning club. His seriousness and methodology have raised the club's level in every aspect. The German coach has made sure not to favor anyone and has raised the level of all the players.

Hansi Flick asks for squad depth
Despite the positive feelings, Hansi Flick's Barça needs some changes. The German coach has requested signings to give Koundé and Balde some relief at full-back, as well as a "9" to give Lewandowski a rest.
In addition, Hansi Flick has insisted on a winger who can solve the fatigue of the attacking trio. Having only Ferran Torres is not enough for such a packed schedule throughout the season. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal can't play every match.

Leroy Sané, the chosen one by Hansi Flick
The German player already worked with Hansi Flick when he coached Bayern Munich between 2020 and 2021. Their professional relationship goes back to earlier stages, since Flick knew Sané from his time with Germany's U-21 national team, where they met and established a good relationship.
In that 2020-2021 season, under Flick's management, Sané played 44 official matches. The footballer scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists, contributing to winning the Bundesliga and the German Supercup.

The player's rebellion brings him closer to Barça
Hansi Flick, an open admirer of the German winger, became interested in his situation months ago. He even consulted Bayern Munich about a possible transfer, but the answer was clear and forceful: he was not for sale. The Bavarian club trusted they would secure his contract renewal.
However, the outlook has changed unexpectedly. Max Eberl, Bayern's sporting director, recently confirmed that Sané has rejected the renewal offer.
"There is no agreement. He has said he doesn't want to accept our proposal in this form. Now, we'll see what happens in the coming days," he stated on Sky.
This refusal has reactivated Flick's interest, who sees Sané as the ideal profile to strengthen Barça's attack. Fast, direct, and with dribbling ability, the German international fits perfectly into the play style the coach wants to implement.
If he ultimately doesn't renew with Bayern, everything suggests Barça will make a strong move for his signing this very summer. The operation, which seemed impossible, is now more alive than ever.
